Riding up the wide street a short ols-
tance We come to the United States con-
sulate-for a wonder q really fine looking
building-beyond which, on each side Of
the street, We notice numerous bamboo
poles, from the tops Of which are floating
immense many colored paper fishes, SO
constructed - to be filed by the wind
These illustrate . very curious custom in
vogue all through Japan. During the
month Of May it is customary to float q
paper fish in front Of each house in which
. male child has been born during the
year, and very unhappy are most young
married couples who cannot display such
an emblem. The boy, no matter how ugly
or mischievous he may be. is the pride Of
the Japanese household, and on the 5th Of
each May his parents must give festival
in his honor, at which time he is the re-
cipient Of all sorts of boys toys, not only
from his own parents, but also from their
relatives and friends. 1t is the greatest
social festival Of the year. On one pole,
Just above the paper fish, we noticed q
flowing paper figure in blue and white
Japanese mourning colors-which we i'm
agined signified that a male child had
been born in the adjacent house during
the year, but that it had since been car
ried of by the grim destroyer.-Cor. Bal
timOre Sun.

A Dangerous Surgical Operation.

A fatal mistake. At the time DIR. Vance.
of Cleveland, performed the operation on
the lady for the removal of cancer of the
stomach he found when too late that the
poor woman had no cancer to be removed.
The disease was indigestion, and II she had
taken the Shaker Extract of Roots tSiegers
Syrup that awful distress at the pit of the
stomach. which made the doctors think she
had cancer. would have been removed. Dis
tress after eating, dull. heavy feeling in
the head. with pains in the side and back
all vanish after using this wonderful REM
edy. The tired, languid feeling gives place
to strength and yigor.
Mrs. Della Marsh writes from Pea Ridge.
Benton county, Ark. that she had dyspep.
sia in the worst form for five years. and
that nothing gave any relief until she used
the Siegel Syrup.

Several cases Of epithelioma. or cancer
of the face and lips. are alleged to have
been cured by the juice of alvelos. a
plant which belongs to the family of
euphorbiace;e: it acts rs an irritant. and
destroys the diseased tissue, which is
quickly replaced by healthy granulations.
OF the three different kinds of alvelos-
luale. female and wild-the second is
considered the most valuable; it is found
at Pernambuco. and although the natives
have employed the juice for some time
past. il has not come INTO extensive use on
account Of the severe pain that it causes.
The best results have been attained
with the juice in concentrated solid
form. and with the addition Of vaseline
or lanoline. British Medical Journal.
